 “Signing a global agreement with Tel Telecommunicações will have an immediate positive impact on its thousands of employees but it will further strengthen bargaining and organising rights in the region and create an opportunity for all workers to improve their wages and working conditions,” said UNI General Secretary Philip Jennings.

The agreement covers more than 3,000 employees in the countries of Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The company provides services in the telecommunications industry ranging from cable, telephony, and broadband services.

The agreement was the result of coordinated action by UNI affiliate Sintetel and its president Almir Munhos who negotiated the agreement. It was signed at the UNI America`s Executive meeting on March 17 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

UNI’s unions in the region will now be working together to make sure that the agreement is enforced.
